Run a Shuttle SN85G with an Athlon 2800, 1GB RAM, 250GB Seagate, DVD-ROM and a Hauppauge PVR-150 for my HTPC with MCE 2005.

I currently have a Radeon 9600 Pro and am considering an AGP 2600 Pro for Avivo HD playback.

They seem to tick all the boxes EXCEPT- power. The Shuttle has a wee 240PSU- do you think, playing back HD-DVD/Blu-Ray, would stress it too much with the above card?

I have a P4 Mobo, CPU, RAM and a 330w Seasonic PSU I can put in a HTPC case no worries, but I'd like to stick with my Shuttle. I have had it about 4 or 5 years and it's been top. I'm rather fond of the wee chap :D
 
Thanks for the reply, Chief :)

I think what I'll do is get a 2600 Pro AGP and try it. If it doesn't work I can always add it to the old P4 or even a C2D set-up with an AGP board.
